Sorry the lateness, the start of this game was three in the morning for me, so I just woke up now and read through the thread.

As to the Lord Commander vote, there are still six people or so who have not posted, and I would like to hear from them first before nominating someone.

 

Coming in late to the thread, and I admit I haven't read through it all, and I'll do that between my first two morning classes tomorrow, but since I was directly asked a question...

By "How sure," I presume you mean "how many people he has checked?" or maybe you means something different. Well, that's what I'll base my answer on at least.

Anyway, considering there are only two roles(unless I miscounted) that give a false-innocent check, I think that the Maester should follow the standard of 'if he has survived at least three-to-four nights, he should reveal his results'.

...hopefully he has received at least one guilty check by that point. The statistical likelihood of him surviving each consecutive night keeps dropping, and there is also a decent chance that whoever happens to be the Maester will have given some clues to his identity due to his perhaps more intentioned defenses or insinuations against others. Clues which could also be picked up by the scum faction, and lead towards the lessened likelihood of his continued survival.

That said, if he has managed to get lucky and find two or even three scum in a row, then he should almost definitely reveal early, due to the same reasons as above.

Anyway, that's about it for my answer, Lungs. I'll re-read the thread later between classes, as I said.

 

I chose Ves because I think we don't have any real tells on who would be a great choice. Vesvius is usually a decent player, and I wanted to make sure we have some variety in people to choose from

I did it in red/all caps, because I was under the impression that was the correct format.

I won't be on for 12-15 hours so I wanted to get someone nominated before I went so that when I come back the game will be moving along well.

After careful consideration...

Lord Commander Nomination: Lungs

mainly because I think he is playing serious now, and that's when he doesn't seem like scum.

 

I was considering nominating jwlk, because I think he might be more obvious as scum than some others. How do people feel about him? I just feel like I'm getting a slightly weird vibe from his posts, might be that he actually reminds me of what I saw in WH:E. I guess it's the general tone of his posts, which seems kinda light. Anyway it's making me a little wary about him, but might be nothing.

 

Morning, sorry I haven't posted yet, was sleeping when this started.

Unfortunately, as Lungs has in his list, I am a newb and can't meta as much as everyone else, but Lungs seems to be likely town to me, just from these posts, but I can't compare to how he acts in other games.

I like the conversation that's going, and if anyone wants to direct any questions to us newbs please feel free. I guess though we are focusing on nominating the Lord Commander who is clearly going to an experienced player so we will get to that later.

I'm also going to wait until the last of us have posted before I nominate, or if there are still non posters by the time I am back at a computer I will nominate then.

In the game I played with Sesc, when he was pro town he was really stepping up to take a leadership role and working really hard to root out the scum. Not sure his play style though as scum, but I just wanted to point out other suggestions so we don't just get hung up on a few people when considering nominations, I don't want us to be accidentally debating between which of the scums to nominate before we are even at the voting stage.

 

Actually, on second thought after taking another look at Awesomefia, where jwlk was town, he might just be one of those players who has a higher chance of looking scum / being lynched even when he is not and as such I don't think I want to nominate there.

Sesc has posted just once to say he is here. He should post more so we can see if he might be a good nomination. But I've got a good general feeling of him based on what I've read as well (presuming he is town).

 

Wow, already four pages! I'm just going to wait for more people to post before putting in my Lord Commander vote.

 

Alright, I'm awake. Just warning you all, I just got up so I'm still a bit groggy.

My thought on Ser Piggy: I honestly beleive he's better holding off until midgame. Not just for being a backup scout, but because he's an important role, one of the only ones who can beat the Walker. By not killing early, he gets more time to study and figure out who's the walker without the scum being sure he's alive. Also, by not killing early, he'll let the numbers drop and have a better chance of killing scum when he finally does go a stabbing.

Lungs: I think I'd be a decent lord commander. The immunity is always a nice shield to hold. And knowing the results of the ranger check could only help. But that brings up a good question. Question just for lungs: Would you share the results of the ranger check or keep them secret and why?

 

I don't see a reason not to share the results of a ranger check. The ranger check is about giving Town the most information possible in the least amount of time. It's the ONLY check that reveals guilt in terms of the White Walker, so... if there's guilty figure, we need to hammer him or her really quickly.

And if he/she doesn't die, there's going to be Valyrian steel stuck up their butt.

 

Okay, I'm here at last after sleep and work. So far my scum reads are limited to Gila. There's just something about the way she posts that makes me think she's picking her words carefully. So no vote for her.

Lungs is looking like town to me, so far, but he is a good player and is decent at hiding scumminess early on in the game, except when Jon's playing apparently.

Vesvius is looking somewhat neutral at this point. He's put some decent answers up that don't make him seem too scummy, but again, there's just something off about his posts to me.

I'm not going to vote yet, however, since there's time for other candidates to be nominated and I'm not entirely certain I want to vote for Lungs at the moment.

As for which roles would benefit from the Lord Commander role, I'd say an info-role getting it would be best, though probably not the Maester since we don't want him being targeted straight off the bat. Maybe a middling info-role like the Thief, or a role like the Angry Knight/Innocent would be a better choice.

I suggest the info-role because it would allow the Lord Commander to check based on extra information. I suggest Angry Knight/Innocent because the Lord Commander will die at some point, and making that painful for the scum would be a good thing.

 

I just have to say I find this pretty hilarious considering I am usually always picking my words carefully no matter my alignment, but in this game I have just been posting stuff without too much thought so far, which is somewhat unusual for me. :awesome

 

Eh, I can sort of understand why people are suggesting Ser Piggy hold off, but I'm just not seeing how that is a good idea. The whole premise for his getting a kill is that there have been two consecutive mislynches. I think that at that point, town could use the help. Of course, regardless of the number of people living Ser Piggy should be discerning in his choice of targets, so if we assume an incompetent or newbie Ser Piggy then discussion is moot. But seeing as the kill option expires after the night it presents itself, I think it's an important tool to be utilised.

 

Okay, checking in.

My first inclination is to distrust Lungs, as I generally distrust any player who appears to be trying too hard XD However, I shall attempt to resist this temptation.

The opposite is true of Sesc. Perhaps due to past games, I find myself trusting him, even if he does think that being in a different timezone changes the days of the week. I shall attempt to resist this read of Sesc too.

As I feel unsure about the both of them, I will vote against them as LC. Vesvius seems like a decent choice, and I have no real basis for suggesting anyone else. So for the time being, consider Vesvius to have my support.

 

Vigilante kills should always be used if available, because it is the only way to communicate to everybody that no scum were lynched in the previous two lynches (since there is no flip on death).

 

LORD COMMANDER NOMINATION: Moridin

Ash makes me fucking nervous when she lurks.

I've already explained why I disliked my other choices, and Vesvius seems SO off to me :\

 

Good morning.

Lungs, I'm not lurking, I just woke up, lol. And you know I'm rather distracted.

Anyway, I honestly don't like any of the candidates at the moment, but then, I never trust anyone besides myself. I would just hate it if I voted for someone who was scum, so, I typically just vote for myself. I can't do that in this game.

So, yeah, up for the day, but I still don't know who I'd most like to be Lord Commander. I'll try to decide on someone by this evening.....

 

Kinsfire's penis is too much to handle, Ash? D8

Yeah, some people still haven't posted yet. /angryface.
